Islamic Republic of Mauritania failing to tackle pervasive slavery, says African Union

15

Slavery is sanctioned in Islam. The word for a black person in Arabic is abid, or slave. Makes you scratch your head, doesn’t it? Consider how many African Americans convert to Islam. Or worse yet, Arabic is now mandatory in a Harlem public school. More proof of the epic failure of African American leadership.

This speaks to the power of disinformation and propaganda, and the effects of the brutal enforcement of the blasphemy laws under Islam (do not criticize Islam, under penalty of death). The truth remains hidden. Unfathomable human rights abuses and shocking war crimes remain largely unknown to the masses — not to the millions of victims, but they have been silenced.

“Mauritania failing to tackle pervasive slavery, says African Union,” by Annie Kelly and Kate Hodal, Guardian, January 29, 2018:

The African Union has reprimanded Mauritania for failing to take action against widespread slavery within its borders and ordered the government to give financial compensation to two child slaves who were failed by its legal system.

The landmark ruling is the first time the AU has spoken out against the pervasive practice of hereditary slavery in Mauritania, which activists believe affects many thousands of people.

Despite passing slavery laws in 2007, and amending them in 2015, Mauritania has only prosecuted two cases of slavery. In 2011, after sustained regional and international pressure, the Mauritanian courts sentenced Ahmed Ould El Hassine to two years in jail and to pay 1.35m Mauritanian ouguiya (£2,700) to two brothers, Said and Yarg Ould Salem, who had been kept in slavery since birth.

After lawyers representing the brothers appealed to the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC), an AU body that was set up to protect child welfare across the region, the committee criticised the leniency of the sentence and said the Mauritanian government was creating a culture of impunity, allowing slavery to continue unfettered across the region.

Under Mauritanian law the minimum sentence for slavery crimes is five years. The convicted slave master is yet to be jailed, pending appeal, and according to anti-slavery campaigners other members of his family are yet to face prosecution.

In the ruling, the committee found the state to be in violation of its obligations to protect children’s rights under the African Children’s Charter, a legal framework that was set up to protect African children from discrimination, child labour and harmful cultural practices….

There is NO way, on God’s green earth, that you could ever FORCE MY CHILD to learn Arabic. Screw that. FORCE THEM, YES make it mandatory for THEM to learn English–how bout THAT! WE’RE NOT going THERE, THEY came HERE. Assimilate and learn our language, OR get the HELL OUT, and go back where you came from. WE DON’T WANT YOU here ANYWAY! Learn it or LEAVE! Period!!!

That should be posted at every point of entry for immigrants to the U.S. Let them know right up front they are free to turn around if they don’t like it.

Don’t you think you and your daughters would look cute wearing matching hijabs? Are you saying you wouldn’t be proud to wear symbols that represent the religion of peace?

They don’t need to “assimilate” and learn our language. If they do not abandon pisslam, they need to die (so they don’t convert others) or go back to where they came from and die (so they don’t convert others).

Saudi Arabia oficially banned slavery in 1963 but it still goes on. The Muslim chiefs from Northern Nigeria travel to
to the toilet called Mecca and leave a number of abias with the Arabs.

Soddy Barbaria still had open-air slave markets up to then as well! I’ve read slavery is alive and well and on the QT in Soddy Barbaria in the 21st century.

I don’t give a flying ef what Muslims do to each other. We should be defending Christians in Africa and leave it at that.

Africa is a deeply divided continent, if you look at any religious map of it, it’s cleanly divided into two — the northern half Muslim-majority (and anti-American), the southern half Christian-majority (and pro-American).

[T]hey DON’T get it, and don’t care that their horrid reputation stems directly from their actions. Nor do they care that the rest of the world has chosen their own beliefs, and have the right to worship as they please. No other religion imposes its will, like Is.la.m.

Islam has always tried to subjugate the Africans through slavery, long before the Europeans ever sailed to America:

Slavery is part of islam, as it was practiced by mutgonad, police beat upon him, it will never be stopped as to do so would be a violation of sharia, apostasy. No muslim will ever do that, there will be slavery as long as there are muslims.
